Col. Howard J. Withycombe. The Army ROTC program offers G student the oppor- tunity to combine his military duties with academic prepara- tion for his future career. Training follows the general Military Science curriculum and consists of two years basic and two years advanced courses. Completion of the program leads to a reserve commission of second lieuten- ant in any branch of the Army; distinguished military students may receive appointments to the Regular Army. Aims of the program are to prepare young men for posi- tions of command and to de- velop in them essential knowl- edge and characteristics of an officer. Subjects common to all branches of the Army are included in the curiculum, such as psychology of leadership, personnel management, mili- tary administration, map and photograph reading, military operations and logistics, weap- ons and their uses and the procedures relating to com- mand and staff. A F R O T C R O T C Objectives of the Air Force ROTC unit are to attract the highest type of personnel into the US Air Force and its civil- ian components; to develop in all cadets an understanding of modern warfare and the place and function of air power in the defense of the United States; and to qualify AFROTC cadets to perform duties nor- mally expected of a junior Air Force officer. The basic course is design- ed to familiarize the student with the characteristics of air power, weapons and operations. Other activities provide cadets with the opportunity to parti- cipate in the cadet band, drill team, rifle team and news- paper. Advanced cadets who quali- fy for pilot training are given thirty-five to forty hours of flight instruction during their senior year. Lt. Col. Charles H. Calhoun.
